Bright Paper Flower Burst – Easy DIY

Bright Paper Flower Burst – Easy DIY

Perfect little project to fill your flower vase with exploding color!

All I needed was paper, scoring board, scissors and glue. Also, a little extra work for a good flower core. All my steps are shown below.

I liked this project so much, that I decided to make another batch for my daughter’s Teacher. Of course, her Teacher loved these since they will last through the end of the school year.

I’m so thankful for Teachers! Here is a snap shot of my delivery to my daughter’s Teacher. She is a wonderful person! I made the paper flowers… placed them in a pen holder… wanted her to have something for now and later.

So, I hope you enjoy making your own…for the blooms and the stem, here is my material list:

This step is on an ‘as needed’ basis. It will finish the look of your flower, but you might be able to add other fun items such as a button, jewel, smiley face or something else fun to cover the core. We decided to make our core using black shimmer card stock – with a paper punch, fringe scissors and some glue. Here’s what we did…

I used a scallop punch – cut a piece out of it, and then slit through the center a little bit so I could form to the center base of my blooms.

Then I cut a strip from the same sheet of paper, used fringe scissors to quickly create fringed edge. As I assess, the fringe can be a little long, so I trimmed it down using scissors. Once I’m happy with it, I start rolling, glue to secure the roll, then glue into the center. Woo Hoo, it is done and so very lovely!!

Something else fun came from this project… After I made the flowers from paper, I took a photo and have created a tutorial for making your own card – checkout that link and you’ll recognize the image – my Bright Flowers! Love projects that can have multiple works produced.
